Man attacks same victim twice in Norwich within an hour
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 10 Oct, 12:43 · Archive
A man punched and bit another man in two separate attacks in Norwich just an hour apart, both times in front of witnesses including the victim's grandchildren.
Brandon Betts, aged 26, attacked the same man twice in Norwich within an hour, with both incidents occurring in front of witnesses including the victim's grandchildren aged two and eight. Norwich Crown Court heard that the first altercation began on Surrey Street when Betts, walking with his partner and young daughter, took offence at the victim's daughter "staring at him in a judgemental manner". After muttering a profanity at her, the victim approached Betts and the men grappled before separating.
About an hour later, the men encountered each other again near a bus stop on Castle Meadow. The victim, still angry about the earlier incident, started shouting at Betts. During the ensuing argument, Betts punched the victim in the face, knocked him to the floor and continued punching him before biting him on the forearm. Betts also made accusations at the victim, which prosecutor Godfried Duah described as "clearly a made-up story".
